Look Writer Describes
Atom Bomb ‘Dry Run’
New York, April 24 —'A 5 )— ^4
Look magazine writer-artist, who
says he went on a “dry run” atom
ic bomb flight, describes an A-
bomb as about the size of an aver
age room and weighing 10,000
pounds.
The Atomic Energy Commission
said the writer didn’t see a real
bomb or even a representation of
one.
Gardner Cowles, Look editor, re
plied that the article and pictures
that accompanied it were cleared
by high Air Force officials and an
AEC representative at a conference
in the Pentagon.
Saw Dummy Used
The magazine article was by
Jim Berryman, Washington Star
cartoonist and illustrator. It indi
cated he actually saw a live or
dummy A-bomb used in the test
run in a B-50.
He illustrated his story with
pictures of a snub-nosed bornb with
four fins on its stubby tail.
The bomb, he said, is about 20
feet long, and nine or 10 feet in
diameter.
He said the trigger, set in the
tail, is about the size of an um
brella stand.
The magazine said Maj. Gen.
Roscie C. Wilson, deputy chief of
staff on operations for Atomic
Energy, arranged for the article
and quoted him as saying:
“I believe it is high time some
of the ridiculous stories circulated
about the A-bomb be killed and
buried once and for all.
“I’ve even heard that hundreds
of thousands of American people
fearfully believe that an enemy
:agent could board a Hoboken ferry
t oting the bomb in a zipper bag and
jUow Manhattan clear into Brook-
livn.”
Berryman said he went on the
simulated bombing mission from
Hunter Air Force Base at Savan
na h, Ga.
He said the mission was to bomb
an*, unnamed city, which appi'oxi-
m;ated a Russian city target.

Old Uniforms in Review
Archives Tailors Construct
Dummies to Fit Suit Sizes'
By FIG NEWTON
Battalion Staff Writer
Archives tailors have partially
solved the problem of ill-fitting
uniforms. Instead of altering the
uniform, they alter the figure.
The figure in this case is not
human but a mannequin. To get
the uniform to fit the body, arms
and legs are shortened but to fit
the cap, the old methods of alter
ing the cap is brought back into
use.
These are just a few of the prob-
Swim Team
(Continutd from Page 3)
record breaker of 2:39.8 in the 200
yd. breaststroke event.
Coach Art Adamson’s tankers
suffered their first defeat of the
season to SMU in Dallas. The chief
consolation to the 45-30 loss was
Van Adamson’s winning the 220
yd. freestyle with a time of 2:18.2.
He not only took first place, but
broke a pool record.
More Comstock
Comstock starred again as he
swam the 220 yd. breaststroke in
2:18.2 and won the event. Jim
Flowers swam into second place
honors in the same event as he fin
ished just behind Comstock in 2:40.
The OU swimmers took home the
honors from their meet here with
the Aggies Feb. 23. In doing so,
they set three pool records. The
Ags wound up with three first
places, 220 and 440 yd. freestyles
arid the 440 yd. freestyle relay.
In the SWC Title Meet, March
24, the tankers came in second as
Van Adamson starred again with a
record-setting time of 1:37.2 in the
150 yd. medley.
Texas University won the meet
with 120 points, with the Aggies
next, scoring 100. SMU came in
third with 95. Baylor trailed bad
ly with only nine counters. This
was Texas’ 18th victory out of the
20 times that this meet has been
held. It took place in TU’s “home
ground” pool at Austin.
Four Lost
“Only four squadmen will be
missing when workouts start.again
next year,” said Coach Adamson.
“This leads me to believe that we
should have a good team,” he
added.
Baker, Butler, Flowers, and Ka-
row will not return to the 1951
team. This will be a heavy loss to
A&M, but Van Adamson, outstand
ing scorer this year, will be back
to swim for the Aggies in 1952
along with Don Blundell, Tommy
Comstock, Don Crawford, and
Rolph Ellis.
Other returners will be Ernest
Johnson, Alfred Noyes, Bill Sar
gent, Bob Shaeffer, John Parnell,
Wayne Strickler, Caroll Jones, and
Bill Karow.

lems that the 75th Anniversary
Committee has to cope with, since
the uniforms they plan to exhibit
are seldom the same size as the
mannequins they have to display
them.
When glass cases for displaying
uniforms and explanatory signs
are finished, enlargement of the
archives exhibit in the MSC will
be under way, J. J. Woolket, chair
man of the 75th Anniversary Com
mittee said today.
We are preparing an exhibit
which will be larger than the one
shown during muster ceremonies
for Mother’s Day Open House, May
12-13, he said.
In a couple of days, the changes
will begin with the addition of
explanatory signs. Then, slowly,
various documents and uniforms
will be replaced with others typical
of different times rearranging the
set up so that one comer can be
set aside for athletic equipment.
One of the glass cases, Woolket
pointed out, will contain a uniform
worn by a head yell leader in the
1920’s which, he added, “resem
bles the garb of a Mississippi river
boat gambler.”
This red vest with a red and
white striped jumper over it will
be on exhibit in a couple of weeks,
Woolket continued.

Cudahy, Wis., April 24—UP)—
Harry Truman “is President of this
nation in name only,” Senator Mc
Carthy (R-Wis) said last night.
“The Hiss crowd still runs the
State Department and not only de
termines foreign policy but mili
tary strategy as well,” the Wiscon
sin Republican told a Chamber of
Commerce banquet of about 500
persons.
“I think Truman is essentially
just as loyal as the average Ameri
can citizen,” McCarthy said.
“He is not part of the Hiss-
Lattimore-Acheson crowd. That is
the only bright spot in the whole
picture. However, the oil men
have him.”
Wasting Time
McCarthy said the President
“confuses s t u b b o r n-e s s with
strength of character” and added
that “those who talk about im
peaching him are largely wasting
their time.”
Such an impeachment would not
save the country today, McCarthy
declared.
New Coach
(Continued from Page 1)
The new head coach was named
All-Pacific Coast in 1938, when
Southern Cal defeated Notre Dame,
national champs, l3~-0; and took
Duke in the Rose Bowl, 7-3. He
received the Davis Teske award
as outstanding athlete at USC that
year.
Pro Ball
George played professional ball
one year each with the Detroit
Lions and Philadelphia Eagles be
fore coaching the Porterville
(Calif.) high school team to an
undefeated season in 1941. As a
naval officer during World War
II, George was in the Saipan-
Guam campaign and played foot
ball with Iowa and St. Mary’s pre
flight clubs.
Following his war service,
George joined the Southern Cal
staff. The Trojans won one Paci
fic Coast title and were among the
top three in the conference for
three years while he was there.
The 1948 Trojan line, coached by
George, was one of the big factors
in tieing mighty Notre Dame and
in beating this football power last
season.
George is married and lives with
his wife and two sons, John Den
nis, 8, and Gregory Stephen, 2, at
300 North Avenue in College Sta
tion.
Comments from A&M football
players on the appointment of
George as head coach were all fa
vorable last night. Ranging from
a loud “Yippee-eee” to “one of the
best,” every player contacted ex
pressed “complete confidence.”
“I think it is a good deal; if he
makes as good a head coach as he
has a line coach, he’ll be terrific,”
said one lineman. Another gridder
said “this is the best news I’ve
heard since a rumor came through
that Pfeuffer Hall had burned
down.”

“Then we’d have Barkley, a fine
old gentleman, and after that we’d
still have the Acheson crowd. We
must impeach Acheson, the heart
of the octupus.”
The President did not fire Gen
eral MacArthur, McCarthy told the
banquet crowd.
“That was done by a sinister,
many headed, many tentacled mon
ster conceived in the Kremlin and
given birth to by Acheson with
Attlee and Morrison as midwives.”
(He referred to British Prime
Minister Clement Attlee and Brit
ish Foreign Minister Herbert Mor
rison.)
“MacArthur Greatest American”
McCarthy declared MacArthur
was the “greatest American ever
born.”
“The Yalta crowd thinks it has
MacArthur’s scalp, but they have
not destroyed him. You can see
that from what is happening in
America today since the General
returned.”
He said he owned an explanation
to Robert Fleming, reporter for the

Milwaukee Journal. Earlier this
month Fleming’s story in the Jour
nal quoted McCarthy as saying in
a Milwaukee speech that the Mac
Arthur dismissal was a “Commu
nist victory won with the aid of
Bourbon and Benedictine.”
Fleming also quoted McCarthy
as applying an epithet to the Pres
ident in an interview preceding the
speech.
“Normally I call in all newspa
per men before I give a speech for
an off the record discussion on
what I am going to say to prepare
them ahead of time. I did that last
week and, my god, what I read in
the Journal the next day.
“The reason I didn’t bring you
up to my hotel room today, Bob,
was because I did not want to take
another chance,” McCarthy said.
Both McCarthy and Fleming '
grinned.
